DIY Endoscope
Make your own endoscope for $800,- using a lens, webcam, PC and scope (it’s the scope that costs $800). 2 years of research! I want to look in my body! Who can find the HOWTO?
Morphing wings
Wingwarping to the extreme – current wings use leading and trailing edge slats to change their shape in order to create more lift at different angles of attack (angles of aircraft and thus wing pitch into the airflow).

Little big ships or lots of little ones?
It’s an argument that’s been raging in every navy of the world for centuries at least, and here is another new contender for the lots of little ships argument – it looks cool, but didn’t they learn anything from the destroyers in WWII?!
